In summer they will start to turn yellow to fix this fertilize with an all-purpose fertilizer or use a good iron supplement to help them green up again. You could use fertilizer on week then iron the following week (follow label instructions). This works well, I do this all the time. It’s also important to use good well-drained potting soil or mix.
